how to install RJDBC package on ubuntu












0















I am new to R. I installed R with apt-get on ubuntu. I want to run a R script locally that connects to DB using RJDBC.



I am trying to install RJDBC package. I installed it with following steps



 R> install.packages("RJDBC")


It asked if I want to create personal directory I entered yes.



Now when I try library(RJDBC) in R script it gives me an error no such package found.



I am not installing RStudio. I want to simply create R script and run it with Rscript command. I installed Rscript for the same reason.



Am I missing something?



I'm using Ubuntu instance. Any help is greatly appreciated.



install.packages("/tmp/RtmpRgKgmc/downloaded_packages/txtplot_1.0-3.tar.gz", repos= NULL , type = "source")

Installing package into ‘/home/ubuntu/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

> library('txtplot')
Error in library("txtplot") : there is no package called ‘txtplot’
>


UPDATE:



I have been trying it for hours now. But its not installing any package. I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and after installation it is installing R 3.0.2 version.



I ran below on R console. But it never installs it. Just downloads packages into temp folder.



trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/src/contrib/plumber_0.4.6.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 83174 bytes (81 Kb)

==================================================
downloaded 81 Kb


The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmppYMbcW/downloaded_packages’


What Do I do next?



I followed installation steps from here. https://medium.com/@GalarnykMichael/install-r-and-rstudio-on-ubuntu-12-04-14-04-16-04-b6b3107f7779

    Did you see any error messages? Try installing the package again, and copy the output of the command in your question.

  • There has probably been an error during the installation; You may have seen something like "installation of... had non-zero exit status". If you post the output of that error message it may be possible to help.

  • @RHertel I opened R console and typed library() I could see base packages installed. After that I did the above. After above steps I run library() again it gives me nothing except warning.

Try this to choose the installation path of the library (where my_user is your user, 3.4 the version of R, my_package is your package. Repos is optional)



install.packages('mypackage',
lib='/home/my_user/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4',
repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/'
)


And this to add this path at the top of your R source



.libPaths(c(
.libPaths(),
"/home/my_user/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/"
))


If you use Shiny you may have to edit the file /etc/R/Renviron with R_LIBS_SITE or R_LIBS_USER in the file something like to R_LIBS_SITE=${R_LIBS_SITE-'/usr/local/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/library'}. This for packages not optional for Shiny Server. For the others they could stay in your home user.
